The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

When I first came to this place,
I felt like a man from outer space.
Now I know the land is good,
It's off with helm and on with hood.

I drive past there twice a week now,
There a new scarfs there, my head takes a bow,
Are they thought of just one day a year,
No, its everyday in our minds that they are here.

Don't care much any more about work,
Not that I am one who likes to shirk.
In two weeks I leave the NHS,
To earn more money and have less stress!

I'm morning-shy, so don't delay,
Flick the slow, wet grass away,
Tomorrow is always another day,
And yesterday fades in quiet decay.

Today I got a part in a play
and I really had to post
for of all the parts I could have got
I'm actually playing a ghost!

Oh Gwen that's great news
You really are so clever.
I'll wish you joy with mermaid song
And lots of sunny weather.

Once I had dreams so big
But here I'm watching Peppa Pig.
This is how I live my life
Now I am a mum and wife.

You're not alone, Dear Philomena,
I too am in a muddle
I'm posting this whilst jumping
In a great big muddy puddle.

An elderly lady from Barstead
A husband, she left broken-hearted;
The reason? It's not that they'd parted,
But, each time she stood up, she farted!

Oh my tiny darling, please try to get some sleep.
Close your precious eyes and dream your dreams so deep.
Oh my tiny boykin, rest your weary head
Because mummy and daddy, really want their bed.
